Pipe SmokerA recent minor forum bug
Trailing single or double quotes in a composed post are slanted the wrong way. An example:
https://sigforum.com/eve/forum...935/m/3010073225/p/2I first saw the bug about a month ago. Deleting the trailing quote and restoring it fixes the slant. I always compose posts on my iPhone. Haven’t tried on my MacBook.
Not complaining – just noting my observation.

parabellumI'm not sure what you man. I see nothing wrong.

Pipe SmokerMaybe because I’m viewing it on my iPhone? I see the double quote after >saviors.< slanted the wrong way.

parabellumMaybe so

sigmonkeyI see it. Maybe it's an Apple thing.
If I "Quote" you post, it changes them the the " marks both slant the other direction, in the "preview/editing" screen, but when I post they revert to the way you posted them.
(this is on my Mac Mini)
I am going to look on my PC and see what it does.

Nope, behaves the same way on the PC.
Did you type the quotes, or copy/paste?

P250UA5Monkey's quotes in this topic are vertical, the ones in the link in the op are 'slanted' the same direction.
Mine "appear" as vertical, to me, same as SM's

Pipe SmokerAn experiment. Both composed in Apple Notes on my iPhone, then copied and pasted into this SIGforum post to see if the period had an effect:
“Now is the time for all good men to come to the aid of their country”
“Now is the time for all good men to come to the aid of their country.”
ETA – Nope, both have properly slanted quotes. But I’ve previously seen that the effect isn’t consistent. Oh well, as I said, “a minor bug”.
I, too, see Monkey’s quotes as vertical.
